I hope you have you original winxp.img handy. I have a (hopefuly
wrong) hunch that you've messed up your data.

446? I thought MBR is 404 bytes?

Try these, and post the output.
ls -lsh /home/winxp.img
losetup -f /home/winxp.img
losetup -a
fdisk -l /dev/loop0 (or whatever loop holds winxp.img)
losetup -d /dev/loop0

My guess is :
- fdisk still says 4G disk, OR
- you get a big number of cylinders
